X-ray crystallography unequivocally shows that protection of the free hydroxyl group of 3,5-O-benzyl-idene-d-xylono-1,4-lactone with diphenyl-diazo-methane proceeded smoothly to give the title compound, C(25)H(22)O(5), with no accompanying epimerization. Unlike the analogously protected lyxono lactone, the isomeric xylono lactone has two mol-ecules present in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 2). The 5-ring lactones adopt envelope conformations and the 6-ring ketals adopt chair conformations.
X射线晶体学明确表明,用二苯基重氮甲烷保护3,5-O-亚苄基-D-木糖-1,4-内酯的游离羟基反应顺利,得到标题化合物C(25)H(22)O(5),且没有伴随的差向异构化。与类似保护的来苏糖内酯不同,异构的木糖内酯在不对称单元中有两个分子(Z' = 2)。五元内酯采取信封式构象,六元缩酮采取椅式构象。
